DEMO DISCUSSIONS

[Yobbit]

For anyone who wants to share their thoughts and observations about the Demo.

God I love the work they did on the sprites

[tennoji]

this game is the perfect blend between kirby and copy kitty. genuinely game of the year for me

[Yobbit]

It took me around 100 minutes to finish the demo (I took my time to explore and look at the features of the demo). It was fun; slow-paced; not particularly challenging (except for the bosses), but you could still take free hits or even die if you do not pay the minimum attention required.

Definitely not boring nor thoughtless in its creation, but I do wonder if any changes will be made with the full release. The only thing I can do is to hope that the final lenght of the game (and how enjoyable that lenght would be) justifies its price (I will buy it anyway, lol).

Anyway, 10/10.

After playing it, pretty fun I have to say.

Works on Linux (desktop) with ancient RX 480 just fine under proton.

Anyone find Explosive Material within the demo?

I literally love the sprites so much i'm gonna rip them i think LOL tho the demo is good

[real_Zuramaru]

now i am no platformer expert, but i thought it was quite challenging. the last boss that you have to fight 3 times was a mf

I loved it!! I do feel like lailaps kinda trivializes some things like being able to attack enemies from under platforms but thats just my opinion because i know hollow knight also does that. Scaling up things is also awkward with how yohane jumps but i imagine double jump fixes it. Over all i was pleasantly surprised. Feels more like castlevania than metroid which wasnt what i wasnt expecting but loved it!

Broadsword is the best weapon in the demo, followed by the Stiletto. DPS wise anyway.

In order to get the Broadsword in the demo you need to get the Battle Axe first (just generic stuff from the Ruins I think) and go to the bottom left corner of the Sunken Temple. There’s a red isopod, you need one of his materials. The rest again I think is generic.

Stiletto you need stuff from the Grotto. Should be easily obtainable I think.

Best accessory in the demo is probably Warriors Cloak. You need Dirt Balls from mud fish in the Grotto’s randomized zone. Next best is either Silver Ring or Chemical Cape which both take mostly common materials.

I fulfilled my dream of defeating giant isopods (like Sumire) using Yohane as a playable character in the best Castlevania style. The areas with water caught my attention, maybe Kanan will have some important role in this regard.
I can't wait to fully collect Aqours and explore the dungeon. I'm dying to use the Cotton Candy Ei Ei Oh as a shield.

I think Crossbow is better than broadsword outside of boss fights. Same damage and one more DP, but much better range.

Perhaps for the range, but Stiletto is a rapid fire throwing dagger with comparable DPS, while Broadsword is faster to swing than crossbow. Of course, I just found two things that upended my findings in the demo.

The Great Axe can be made by getting the material from the Great Axe fishman in the Ruins portal. It’s strong enough to potentially one shot any enemy in the demo besides the giant crab.

And the Analytics Spectacles can be made with two Gold Coins, which can drop from rubble in the Grotto portal. Probably a 1% rate… This increases Crit rate by 10%, which is the only thing in the demo that actually increases damage. Since Crits are just the highest damage rolls, this might end up being a sizable damage increase. …Just gotta get a second coin to test lol.

Is there map marker system in demo?
I found movable blocks and ice walls. I hope check them with map markers.

Yohane fights as well as I was expecting: relying on summons to do her work. Game looks very promising. I found Yohane's movement a bit awkward.

I really like it i dont play much side scrolling game but this was quite fun not to hard somewhat easy compare to others like megaman and such i dont mind. it only cap at 120fps uncap would be best. anyway cant wait for the full version
